Janet Fitch

The author of White Oleander (one of Oprah's books, for goodness sake!) has a blog. Janet Fitch doesn't post nearly often enough for my tastes but hey, beggars can't be choosers, right?

Yesterday (11/11/10) she shared a short piece prompted by the word "stamp." (A word is chosen, and she writes a piece that features that word at least once...I'm hoping I have the details correct.)

Read "The Skyroom." It paints a vivid picture. You will be able to see the girl with such clarity that if you're not already a Fitch-Follower, you'll become one...
